1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 363 Worries and Lingering Fears

Someone gave Lu Youyou's ankle a simple bandage and escorted her onto the bus for the return trip.

The police, who were always late on the way down the mountain, finally appeared and surrounded Lu Youyou's car from all sides, making it look like a foreign leader had arrived.

It wasn't that the police were inactive; it was just that the "enemy" arrived too suddenly, and the friendly forces acted too quickly, leaving them no room to maneuver.

But Song Jingting was a big shot in Hong Kong, and he kept pressuring the police with phone calls, giving the top brass a real headache.

If the rescue operation can't keep up, the escort must be done properly, otherwise they'll look too incompetent.

The details of Lu Youyou's attack were not reported in the newspapers, but people in the Song family knew that someone in the circle had been kidnapped, and everyone was speculating about which member of the Song family had been kidnapped.

As the main force marched along the road, newspapers followed from a distance, all hoping to get firsthand information.

Lu Youyou was exhausted and sleepy, but she couldn't fall asleep until she got back to her own territory. Half asleep, she arrived at the border and found out that Song Jingting was already waiting there.

"Youyou, are you badly hurt? How are you feeling?" Song Jingting asked with concern.

"It's not serious, just a sprained ankle, the bones should be fine."

Seeing that Lu Youyou still had a smile on her face, Song Jingting was finally relieved.

God knows how nervous he was when he first received the news. Hong Kong's security has never been good, otherwise he wouldn't have arranged so many bodyguards. He never expected that something would still happen.

In just a few short hours, he had even arranged the cash; he even hoped that what the other party wanted was money.

Fortunately, things turned out alright in the end. If something had really happened to Lu Youyou, he wouldn't know how to explain it to his superiors.

"Youyou, go back and take good care of your injuries. Don't worry about the equipment. If you need it, your second uncle will do everything he can to get one for you."

Speaking of the machine she never got to see, Lu Youyou had mixed feelings of love and hate. If the machine hadn't been so huge and required such high precision that it could only be fixed in the laboratory and couldn't be moved, she wouldn't have needed to travel all the way to Hong Kong.

The relevant equipment had long been on the Western embargo list, and it was impossible to get it back through normal channels. The only option was to find another way by going through the port city.

Lu Youyou didn't respond immediately, mainly because the item wasn't cheap, costing millions of dollars, not including shipping and the cost of "finding a way".

As if knowing what she was worried about, Song Jingting smiled and patted Lu Youyou on the shoulder.

"I didn't treat you well during your trip to Hong Kong. I don't know how much your grandfather will scold me if he finds out. Consider this my way of apologizing to you. Don't think too much about it!"

Since Song Jingting had already lowered his stance so much, Lu Youyou couldn't say anything more. She would only offer more reminders as a way of repaying the Song family for their support, since the financial crisis was expected to start showing signs of next year.

"Thank you very much, Second Uncle. I'll treat you to a meal next time you have the chance to come to the capital."

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely go. Next time I'll bring the two little ones too, so they can really appreciate the beauty of our country."

"Comrade Lu, everything is ready. You can proceed now," Lin Ling said softly as she approached.

Lu Youyou nodded to indicate that she understood, then took two steps forward to say goodbye to Song Jingting.

"Second Uncle, I'm going back now. You should also go back and rest early. I'm sorry to have troubled you this time."

"Not at all, it's my fault for not taking good care of him!" Song Jingting said, mentioning the injured Li Yun. "You can rest assured and leave your colleague to me. I will arrange the best doctor for him, and I will have someone escort him through customs after the surgery."

Thank you so much!

"Of course, of course!" Li Yun had a broken left leg and lost too much blood, so he had to stay in Hong Kong for surgery first. Fortunately, the medical level was reliable, and with the Song family taking care of him, these were not problems.

Song Jingting watched Lu Youyou leave in her wheelchair, sighed deeply, and immediately got into his car to go back and arrange the next steps.

Obviously, the local tabloids wouldn't let such a big story slip by, and they didn't want to expose Lu Youyou too much, as there was still a lot of work to be done to wrap things up.

The home security system also needs to be upgraded. So many bodyguards can't protect one person. What if there are robbers targeting the family next time? Can he trust these expensive but useless people?

As for the equipment, we can only try to communicate with Hong Kong University. If that doesn't work, we can donate some money and order another one in the university's name.

Thinking about all the things that are coming up, Song Jingting felt that there wasn't enough time.

*
Pengcheng, the pass.

Gu Qingye stood there with an upright posture. Before she even got close, Lu Youyou noticed him standing out in the crowd.

It seemed there was no need for any communication. As the car approached, Lin Ling opened the door and got into the back car, while Gu Qingye sat next to Lu Youyou.

Their eyes met, and Gu Qingye didn't say a word. He carefully "examined" Lu Youyou from head to toe, then held her hand tightly as if she were a lost treasure that had been found again.

Lu Youyou's lips moved. She had a lot to say, but when she saw Gu Qingye, it was as if a wad of cotton was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say anything.

Gu Qingye reached out with his other hand and patted the back of her hand reassuringly. His gaze lingered on her face, which he hadn't seen in a long time, before finally moving to her feet, which were wrapped in several layers of gauze.

Back in a familiar place, with familiar people around, Lu Youyou could no longer resist the weariness and closed her eyes in no time.

Gu Qingye gently supported her head and placed it on his shoulder, but fearing that his shoulder was too stiff, he laid her flat on his lap when they passed bumpy sections of the road.

The driver and the passenger in the front seat only glanced at it once and never looked in the rearview mirror again. They had always heard that Commander Gu and his wife had a good relationship, and it was indeed true.

Even if they don't say a word after meeting, you can still feel the impenetrable atmosphere between them.

Lu Youyou slept the whole way, and didn't even wake up when she went to the hospital for X-rays and examinations. Gu Qingye carried her in and out of the hospital and personally pushed her wheelchair.

When she opened her eyes again, she was already on an airplane. As soon as Lu Youyou opened her eyes, she saw the clouds outside the window and thought she was dreaming.

"This is... cough cough... a flight back to Beijing?" I realized my voice was a little hoarse as soon as I opened my mouth, and I started coughing halfway through my sentence.

"Okay, we'll be there in an hour. Have some water first." Gu Qingye handed her a glass of warm water, and Lu Youyou drank a few sips.

"Okay, I..." Before she could finish speaking, her words were cut off.

Perhaps out of concern for the people around, Gu Qingye did not go deeper, but rather fiercely enveloped her lips and teeth, transitioning from ruthlessness to utmost tenderness.

A single word conveyed all his worries, lingering fears, and unending concerns.

Lu Youyou's eyes welled up with tears, as if she had been bitten and hurt.

"sorry that I had you worried……"

Gu Qingye didn't say anything, but simply held the person tightly in his arms.

　The finale is coming soon, and there will be more side stories coming up. Is there anything you'd like to see?
